root beer shooters

Root Beer Shooters are a delightful and nostalgic drink that combines the flavors of root beer with the kick of alcohol. This playful shooter has its origins in the American Midwest, where root beer as a soft drink has been a beloved beverage since the 19th century. Root beer itself dates back to the colonial era when settlers made small beers from various roots, herbs, and barks, particularly sassafras. The commercial root beer we know today was popularized by Charles Hires, who introduced it at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition.
